I get to be

Who did you pretend to be as a kid when you'd played outside?

I was always link

Future Trunks

Shredder or any bad guy really

It varied lots of the time Batman, sometimes James Bond (was very rare), we did Mortal Kombat on the playground I was always Sub-Zero. I think the most interesting thing we played was Half-Life. My fondest thing we played was Resident Evil 4, I was the Merchant.

Cyclops
Nightcrawler
Leo (TMNT)
Jason (Red Ranger)

>who did you pretend to be as a kid
happy

sonic
I pretended to do the spindash and I carried around my friends like in Sonic CD

dude, i had a girl next door to me when i was a kid
i can still remember us reenacting the entire beginning of LTTP outside

i never could get rid of those jitters when i held her hand and we were 9.

Wolverine and Spider-man. Used to play as Batman a little too with my cousin.

>Was the only one of my friends who knew how to backflip

>Got first pick on damn near anyone I wanted because of it

Mmm yes it felt good being the unquestioned Green or White Ranger

Adolf Hitler
I blame my history teacher

Indiana Jones. If I was running around and my hat fell off, I'd swipe it off the ground like him and put it back on.

the girl.

I never had friends to play outside with, so I usually played all the roles.

That's how the rumor started that I had multiple personalities at school.

...

...

Sonic.
My two best friends were Shadow and Espio, and together we were Team speed.
Goddamn I feel old.

fuck same thing happened to us too, we played extreme dodge ball using tennis balls and the next thing we knew the whole school was in on it and everyone was using their pellet and air guns along with golf balls

Inspector Gadget

An OC Digimon, then an OC Kirby in a higher grade.

these are hilarious, more elementary wars stories please !

My friend was Lucario, and I was basically an OC Ditto that could learn any move. For some reason it was brown, with three big claws on each "hand".
inb4 someone who doesn't realize how much time has passed calls me underage

My friends and I tended towards our own characters/scenarios rather than stuff we watched/played (though that stuff obviously had a big influence).

We ended up having this really complex sci-fi world that was built up over like 4 years. It was pretty tight.

Please tell me you married her, if you didn't, go do it now. RIGHT NOW.

C-3PO

All the time.

Not a fucking joke.

digimon, angemon

It depends on what we were playing. If it was Power Rangers I was the Red Ranger; if it was Digimon, Izzy, and etc. We never played "be whoever you want" kind of games - we'd always pick only one franchise (unless it was with toys) and would make sure to think of our roles first. Looking back, I'm surprised on how seriously we took our make-believe games.

I always made up my own retardedly overpowered characters.

Wasp Man- He wore power armor and could fly. He had a huge missile launcher on his ass that was the Wasp Stinger Missile. I put a toy sword in my pants and threw it at people to simulate this. I also tried to talk in a deep raspy voice, kinda like Batman. I stopped being Wasp Man because talking like him hurt my throat.

The Claw- This guy was probably the most OP thing I ever made. He is the king of a robot planet and he is a shapeshifting ooze that prefers to take a human form most of the time. The only part of him that doesn't shapeshift is his giant razor-sharp claws. He can throw fireballs and shoot lightning from said claws and hasd a secret base where he stored thousands of cruise missiles (toy weapons I threw at people). All of the missiles had names and when I used one it "died" and I had to come up with a new name for it. Examples of named missiles are "Baby Blue" "Predator" and "Iris". Also he was strong enough to punch tanks open and since he was a gooey shapeshifter he was immune to slicing attacks and bullets.
When my brother got pissed and said that was bullshit and had to give him a weakness I said he could be frozen or boiled since ooze is mostly water and that's how you kill water.

I want so desperately to believe this story is real. It's just too good. It's like fucking ape politics in a zoo.

Were you a skinny nerd?

Krillin

Dude didn't have cheating alien powers.

Me and my friend used to play Rush Hour a lot as kids.

Since he was black, I was always Jackie Chan by default.

same here, except it was mostly just collecting bugs and putting them in our "city" which was mostly just a series of channels and mounds in the sandbox

I'm just imagining two little kids
>"Do you ah undahstand da woods dat ah cahming outta mai mouth?!"
>"Man, can't nobody understand the words the are comin' out yo mouth!"

Yep. He even did the Chris Tucker voice.

While I tried to do Jackie Chan acrobatics and got myself hurt almost every time.

Shortfuse the Cybernik, Raziel, Hulk and, standing behind my brother, half of Goro

Skinny, but I was surprisingly popular for a guy who would eventually wind up posting on Sup Forums in his 20s.

>Be American
>Play superheroes
>Get shot

Meant this as a reply to

I'm Luke Skywalker, my bike is an x-wing, and this stick that's painted green is my lightsaber.

the blue MMPR ranger.

fuck you guys I can make flying cars.

Sonic Kirby or Gohan. One Armed Kamehamehas for days.

I was pretenting to be the Flash and was making a fuckton of small steps to make my feet look like they were going at super speed

But he basically cheated once by getting a power up from Guru.

...

I remember climbing on my friend's back to fuse as Gotenks once

He cheated once compared to Goku cheating like...10 times. At that point it's not cheating. That's just leveling the playing field.

I was the little brother, and youngest of the group so I always got stuck being the smallest character.
Shit sucked.

Generally, I would make up a character. 9 times out of 10, they'd have a sword and lightning powers. Lightning powers are the fucking DOPEST SHIT, especially when you use them by zig-zagging during your attack like a lightning bolt, and if you don't agree with that then get the fuck out of my face.

Also CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER.

My friends and I were the Power Rangers every time.

The blue chick from Buzz Lightyear. Mira or something like that?

Depended on whichever show I last watched.

I recall playing as Batman, Zorro, the Road Runner, and one of the very few memories I have of my grandpa is me pretending to be KITT while he was a bulldozer chasing me.

There may have been some TMNT in there, but I really don't remember. I'm actually not sure if I recall being Batman correctly... I could have sworn that I had watched parts of the '66 Batman show as a wee little kid, but I later discovered that it wasn't even released in my country back then.

Kid in the back with the blue hoodie looks like the way to go.

Not elementary, but...

looking back it, i don't regret it, cause it was kinda funny

I was always the bad guy.

That sounds hilarious.

The obvious choice for someone on a Mongolian basket weaving forum.

Because we mainly played WWF I was always Kane because I was the only one tall enough to do convincing Chokeslams and non-lethal Tombstone Piledrivers.

Fuck this made me remeber one of the saddest things in my life.

Good times.

Goldar or Ridley from Metroid.

I love this question because I was a weird fucking kid.

I distinctly remember being at the YMCA and all the kids were pretending to be Power Rangers. I just wanted to be a zord.

I played pretend with the girls a lot because they were bossy at that age and I liked all the attention of them bossing me around. Usually they were genies or princesses or mermaids so I was always the dog or cat (because I couldn't think of a masculine thing to be in contrast to their girly nonsense.)

I remember one day where a group of girls were playing X-men and wanted me to join in. I was a Disney Afternoon kid, not an X-men kid, so I didn't know anything about the characters. The girls decided I would be Wolverine because one girl was Gene and an other was Rogue and they wanted to both be in love with me and fight over (or maybe potentially share) me.

Now I spend a lot of time on the internet roleplaying with people. The constant theme being that I don't care what I am, as long as I'm something that someone else want to control, dominate or have sex with. Good thread, bro.

very sad story user. why not be more like your old bro, now that he is gone?

Aww.. :'(
